"Empress Dowager, don't interfere with the affairs of my harem!"
The emperor suddenly toughened up and his tone became quite calm, which caused Taixing Palace to fall into a brief silence.
The Queen Mother also reacted immediately. It turned out that the Emperor did not necessarily want to teach Yun Zhen a lesson. He just wanted to use this incident to restrain the Yun family.
If the Yun family was restrained, the happiest person would not be the emperor, but the An family.
This is also the reason why Concubine An of the An family insisted on coming here. Concubine An just wanted to watch the Yun family perish!
But if we don't drag the An family into this now, then in the future the An family will grow stronger and stronger, and the Yun family will never have a chance to rise again.
So the Queen Mother said: "Yun Zhen did something wrong, so of course he should be punished, but does that mean Xiao Liang has no problem? Xiao Liang has seriously threatened the emperor's position in the harem and has aroused the hearts of the women in the harem. Xiao Liang should be punished!"
This logic is not wrong. It takes two to tango. Yun Zhen has liked Xiao Liang for so many years, and it is not just one or two days. This feeling can't be stopped, and Xiao Liang can't get rid of it completely.
Concubine An didn't expect that the Queen Mother would suddenly make a surprise attack and push Xiao Liang out.
In fact, this is also the reason that Concubine An has always cared about.
If Xiao Liang hadn't been wandering around in the harem like a ghost all day, chatting and laughing with this woman and flirting with that woman, she wouldn't have been so angry.
She came here this time hoping to get Xiao Liang out.
Besides, Concubine Dowager An is not stupid. She knows clearly that Xiao Liang has a good relationship with the emperor, so the emperor naturally cannot do anything to Xiao Liang.
She just came here on purpose to laugh at the Queen Mother.
Now that he has seen enough of the joke, he ended up burning himself.
She immediately turned to look at the emperor, and then said to him calmly: "Your Highness, Xiao Liang is a dashing man with a lively and cheerful personality. It seems very normal for women to like him."
"I don't know when Yun Zhen started to like Xiao Liang, but Xiao Liang is a serious person after all, and he has never said that he likes Yun Zhen. I hope Your Highness can understand."
The emperor groaned for a moment. Today, Concubine Dowager An and Concubine An had really walked into trouble.
The emperor was planning to let the two families check and balance each other, but he didn't expect that they would come to him on their own.
Although the emperor has a good relationship with Xiao Liang, he cannot be too partial at this time.
He pretended to be calm and said to Concubine An: "The Queen Mother is right. How could Xiao Liang steal my wife? I am the emperor after all. If my woman likes my brother, it will be so embarrassing if it gets out!"
"I guess Concubine An came here for this reason. Is there anything you can say to make up for my broken heart?"
Seeing that the emperor had given in, the empress dowager was naturally very arrogant. She looked up at the emperor and said to him, "Let Xiao Liang leave the palace and never come back! There shouldn't be so many men in the harem. One emperor is enough!"
"The rest of these people are running around all day, which really gives those with bad intentions an opportunity to do things that don't follow the rules."
The emperor thought to himself that this was not what he wanted.
According to the Queen Mother, there are more wolves than meat in the harem now, and men are indeed a scarce commodity.
But Xiao Liang must not be kicked out!
The emperor is looking for Xiao Liang to entertain him!
Xiao Liang spent the whole day traveling and brought back a lot of things for the emperor.
As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who have benefited from him. He had eaten so much from Xiao Liang, and now he was going to be kicked out by Xiao Liang. Naturally, he was unhappy.
But he didn't say anything.
He wondered if the Queen Mother had the intelligence to receive his little hint.
After the Queen Mother said this, she turned her head and glanced at Concubine An.
Concubine An was also unhappy, and the two of them quarreled for a while, but no clue came to mind.
At this time, Xiao Yuli came up and said to Concubine An, "If a son does not teach his parents well, his father will be blamed. This time, Xiao Liang caused such a big mess. After all, he is still a teenager and does not understand some things."
"This matter should have been handled by Concubine An. Concubine An did not discipline your son enough, so he made such a mess. Concubine An, don't you have anything to say?"
Concubine An suddenly curled her lips and sneered, "Xiao Yuli, I miss your mother's early death and you are a poor child, but I didn't expect you to stand with the Queen Mother today. What does this mean? Do you think Yun Zhen fell in love with Xiao Liang, and in the end it was my fault?"
Xiao Yuli didn't care about that at all, he just said in a cold voice: "It's okay for the mother to punish the son, this matter ends here, otherwise if today's conflict gets out, it will really make everyone laugh."
When Concubine Dowager An saw that Xiao Yuli was standing against her aggressively, she thought that Xiao Yuli was nothing but a running dog of the Empress Dowager.
She immediately felt unhappy, but asked, "Then what does your Highness think of this situation?"
The emperor had been sitting there with his arms folded, watching the fun. This time, these people finally thought of him and asked him to make a decision.
He thought about it carefully, and then said, "What Xiao Liang did was indeed not decent. I wanted to punish Xiao Liang by confining him to his house for three months. Since my eldest brother believes that the mother is guilty of her son's crime, I really can't bear to let Concubine An be confined to her house for three months."
"I have thought about it and I think the person who can do this job for me must be her."
After saying that, the emperor pointed his finger at Concubine An.
Concubine An was supporting Concubine Dowager An and was looking at Yun Zhen with a smile.
Although she was a noble concubine, she was really meaningless in the harem.
She never played the role of competing for favor in the harem, after all, no one was competing with her.
Now, before she even had the chance to compete for favor, Yun Zhen had already been banished to the cold palace. She won by doing nothing...
The reason she came here this time was to look down at Yun Zhen and see what other tricks the Empress Dowager could come up with.
Unexpectedly, he was suddenly picked out by the emperor to be used as a shield!
It was clearly Xiao Liang's fault, but in the end she was asked to be grounded and attacked by a substitute? How could she accept this?
She took a step forward, knelt on the ground, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please don't do that! This matter has nothing to do with me. Since it was Xiao Liang's fault, let Xiao Liang bear the consequences himself!"
When Concubine An pushed the girl away, Concubine Tai An's face suddenly changed. She looked at Concubine An coldly and said to her, "Your brother is so frail and has a very erratic personality. If you confine him to his room for three months, he will definitely go crazy!"
